Twin turbo: One or Two WG I am having a hard time deciding whether to go with one or two wastegates and which to aim for. I have 2 GT35r turbo's and my power goals are ultimately from 800-1000hp but at first i will start of with about 600-700hp.
As i see it there are pro's and con's on both. If i go with 2 it will be more expensive to buy, and maybe harder to adjust 2, to be equal. If i buy one, it might be cheaper? But then i need to run pipes from both sides to mate into one WG.
What are your suggestions for going with one or two? And any brand/model that i should go for?

Ya depending on the size of the wastegate I dunno if it will be sufficient enough to bypass enough gas flow for both setups....
Typically whenever I see twin turbos I see people running two wastegates. Ive got one large turbo but two waste gates so I guess its preference.

wastegates -that kind of power output should be running 2 wastegates
-as far as adjusting them goes, if you are using the same spring in each of them and split the boost reference line so 1 line feeds both wastegates then tuning WILL NOT be a problem
-brand ? - i use 2 turbonetic racegates on my twin turbo in my dune buggy and they work EXCELLENT

It would be a very awkward piping situation to run one gate for twin turbos. Not only that, but running 8-12psi on a 35R (600-700hp) you will need fairly good control over the exhuast gasses.
If it were me, I would run twin Tial 44s or twin Turbosmart 48s...The Tial 44s are much easier to package into a small spot then the Turbosmarts.
Like LS1W said, keeping them in check is not a big deal at all.
